Your Invisible Power by Genevieve Behrend

9 How I Attracted To Myself Twenty Thousand Dollars
From the Edinburgh Lectures I had read something about the Law of Attraction, and from the
Chapter of "Causes and Conditions" I had gleaned a vague idea of visualizing. So every night,
before going to sleep, I made a mental picture of the desired $20,000. Twenty $1,000 bills were
counted over each night in my bedroom, and then, with the idea of more emphatically impressing
my mind with the fact that this twenty thousand dollars was for the purpose of going to England and
studying with Troward, I wrote out my picture, saw myself buying my steamer ticket, walking up and
down the ship's deck from New York to London, and, finally, saw myself accepted as Troward's
pupil.

This process was repeated every morning and every evening, always impressing more and more
fully upon my mind Troward's memorized statement: "My mind is a center of Divine operations." I
endeavored to keep this statement in the back part of my consciousness all the time with no
thought in mind as how the money might be obtained. Probably the reason why there was no
thought of the avenues through which the money might reach me was because I could not possibly
imagine where the $20,000 would come from. So I simply held my thought steady and let the power
of attraction find its own ways and means.

One day while walking on the street, taking deep breathing exercises, the thought came: "My mind
is surely a center of Divine operation. If God fills all space, then God must be in my mind also; if I
want this money to study with Troward that I may know the truth of Life, then both the money and
the truth must be mine, though I am unable to feel or see the physical manifestations of either; still,"
I declared, "it must be mine."

While these reflections were going on in my mind, there seemed to come up from within me the
thought: "I am all the substance there is." Then, from another channel in my brain the answer
seemed to come, "Of course, that's it; everything must have its beginning in mind. The "I" the Idea,
must be the only one and primary substance there is, and this means money as well as everything
else." My mind accepted this idea, and immediately all the tension of mind and body was relaxed.

There was a feeling of absolute certainty of being in touch with all the power Life has to give. All
thought of money, teacher, or even my own personality, vanished in the great wave of joy which
swept over my entire being. I walked on and on with this feeling of joy steadily increasing and
expanding until everything about me seemed aglow with resplendent light. Every person I passed
was illuminated as I was. All consciousness of personality had disappeared, and in its place there
came that great and almost overwhelming sense of joy and contentment.
